The inaugural 2024 Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters has brought the best snooker players in the world to Riyadh. The tournament, with a prize pot of £2.3 million, kicks off today. England’s Oliver Lines and Reanne Evans will be in the spotlight during the afternoon session, while Jimmy White starts his campaign with a first-round match in the evening.

“We will be back at 12pm on Saturday with more from the Saudi Arabia Masters, the richest ranking event in history outside of the World Championship. All the latest results are here for you,” a voice announced.

Excitement ran high as Moody, a naturally gifted teenager, scored a century against the 14-year-old Alqabbani at the Saudi Masters. The match ended with Moody winning convincingly 4-0, securing a spot in the second round against Liam Pullen.

A young player named Ziyad tried to make progress, but a tough cut on a red ball eluded him at a crucial moment, giving Stan the chance to take control of the frame and ultimately the match.

In a nerve-wracking finale to the second frame, Moody kept his composure to seal the win on the closing four colors. Despite young Ziyad having several opportunities to level the score at 1-1, the Halifax kid emerged victorious after a 40-minute battle.

The excitement at the Saudi Arabia Masters is palpable as fans eagerly await the next round of matches and the chance to witness more thrilling snooker action.
